Building on Experience
Kessel Construction, Inc. is a respected Design-Build firm that specializes in turnkey construction of commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. Founded in 1934 by William O. Kessel as a Oil Field Construction business, it was in 1949 that “W. O. Kessel” acquired the Butler Manufacturing Company building franchise that established Kessel as a Design-Build firm. Dick Kessel joined the company as a member of the field crew in 1956. Sheet metal fabrication, steel fabrication, and erection services were added in 1964, with concrete foundations and floor slab installation crews in 1970. The tradition of family involvement continued with the addition of Paul Kessel in 1984. Kessel Construction has continued to grow through the 80’s and 90’s with an employee base of more than 80 individuals.
